Daniel Burdeen - RotoBaller

5043 articles

You won't find a bigger Cubs fan than myself. Aside from my love of fantasy sports, which includes MLB, NFL and NBA, I own my own animal care business. I graduated from Columbia College in Chicago and currently reside in Chicago, IL. My love of fantasy sports started for me in the early 2000's and I have steadily been active with the same group of friends year in and year out for every league in baseball, basketball and football. I am hoping to help all RotoBaller members with any questions they may have. I consider myself an expert with minor league prospects, as it is a love of mine. I hope to give the best advice I can to the RotoBaller world!

Articles

Jackson Chourio Offers It All

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Jackson Chourio went 3-for-3 with a run and RBI during Tuesday's Cactus League loss against the San Francisco Giants. The 19-year-old phenom is now hitting .304 with two RBI over his first 23 at-bats. Signed to an eight-year, $82 million contract this offseason, Chourio is slated to make his big-league debut […]


Kevin Gausman Dealing With Shoulder Fatigue

Keegan Matheson of MLB.com is reporting that Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Kevin Gausman (shoulder) will not throw his scheduled bullpen on Monday. The veteran has been dealing with "general shoulder fatigue", but a recent MRI has shown no structural concerns or injury. In other words, the best news the Blue Jays could have hoped […]


Zack Wheeler Signs Big Extension

Jon Heyman of MLB Network has reported that Philadelphia Phillies ace Zack Wheeler has agreed to terms on a three-year, $126 million extension to remain in Philly for the foreseeable future. The right-hander already has a year left on his current deal, so the extension won't kick in until the 2025 season. Wheeler is coming […]


Tanner Bibee Makes Return To Mound

Cleveland Guardians starting pitcher Tanner Bibee struggled in his first appearance in the Cactus League this spring against the San Francisco Giants. The 24-year-old tossed 1 2/3 innings and allowed two runs on three hits to go along with one walk and three punch outs. Bibee had a phenomenal rookie season with a shiny 2.98 […]


Jordan Walker Off To Slow Start In Spring

St. Louis Cardinals infielder/outfielder Jordan Walker will look to turn things around on Monday when the club squares off against the Washington Nationals in the Grapefruit League. Over his first 13 at-bats this spring, the Georgia native has just one RBI and is hitting .154. The 21-year-old remains one of the top prospects in the […]


Jarred Kelenic Struggling With New Team

Atlanta Braves outfielder Jarred Kelenic went 0-for-1 with a pair of walks in Sundays Grapefruit League contest versus the rival Philadelphia Phillies. The former top prospect was acquired from the Seattle Mariners earlier in the offseason and is coming off of his best year as a pro with a .253 batting average to go along […]


Kutter Crawford Continues To Earn Rotation Spot

Boston Red Sox starting pitching Kutter Crawford put together another impressive outing in a Grapefruit League matchup versus the Toronto Blue Jays. Crawford went three scoreless innings and allowed two hits with no walks and four strikeouts. In 31 games (23 starts) this past season, Crawford showed serious upside and pitched to 4.04 ERA with […]


David Bote Showing Power Early In Spring

Chicago Cubs infielder David Bote pinch-hit and went 1-for-1 with a two-run homer on Sunday. Bote's home run was his third of the Cactus League. The utility man has been off to a hot start this spring, but will need to continue to have a strong showing to break camp as a bench option for […]


Kevin Alcantara Goes Deep

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara went 1-for-2 with a solo home run versus the Cleveland Guardians on Sunday. Alcantara, 21, spent most of 2023 in High-A South Bend with limited action in Rookie Ball and Double-A. Between all three levels, Alcantara hit .284 with 13 round trippers, 71 RBI and 15 stolen bases to […]


Juan Soto Is Loving Pinstripes Early On

New York Yankees outfielder Juan Soto went 2-for-3 with a homer on Sunday in a loss against the Detroit Tigers in the Grapefruit League. The newly acquired Soto has only had nine at-bats thus far, but has made the most of them with six hits, three homers, seven RBI and a pair of walks. Soto, […]


Chris Bassitt Looks To Improve

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Chris Bassitt has made two appearances in the Grapefruit League this spring with mixed results. After two scoreless innings of relief in his first outing, Bassitt served up three runs in his most recent performance on Saturday. The veteran got off to a slow start last season, but had a […]


Ryan Helsley Remains A Strong Bullpen Option

St. Louis Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley has tossed two scoreless outings over his first two Grapefruit League appearances this spring. He has also recorded three strikeouts. Helsley is coming off of another strong season as the Cardinals closer and remains the top option for saves in St. Louis. Entering 2024, the fireballer remains one of […]


Ke'Bryan Hayes Off To Nice Start In Spring Training

Pittsburgh Pirates third baseman Ke'Bryan Hayes went 2-for-3 with a run scored against the Baltimore Orioles on Sunday. Hayes is now hitting .357 with two homers and six RBI over his first 14 Grapefruit League at-bats. It seems like Hayes has been around forever, but he is still just 27. Always highly touted in the […]


Javier Baez Hitless In Spring

Detroit Tigers shortstop Javier Baez went 0-for-3 versus the New York Yankees on Sunday. Baez is now hitless in his first 11 at-bats with no walks in the Grapefruit League. Speaking earlier in the offseason, Baez noted that he strengthened his conditioning after dealing with back and core injuries in his first two seasons for […]


Luis Campusano Goes Yard For First Homer Of Spring

San Diego Padres catcher Luis Campusano went 1-for-3 with two-run home run in Sunday's Cactus League contest versus the Seattle Mariners. Campusano, 25, belted his first dinger of the spring to help the Padres cruise to a 12-4 victory. One of the Padres former top prospects, Campusano is still just scratching the surface at the […]


Jackson Holliday Cranks First Triple-A Homer

Baltimore Orioles shortstop prospect Jackson Holliday went 2-for-3 with two walks and hit his first home run for Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday.

Colton Cowser Goes Yard

Baltimore Orioles outfield prospect Colton Cowser went 1-for-5 with a home run for Triple-A Norfolk on Thursday. Cowser remains one of the more talented Orioles prospects and has hit a steady .307 with 16 home runs, 57 RBI and eight stolen bases. The issue for Cowser has been his limited time during his big-league debut, […]


Orioles Promote Heston Kjerstad

The Baltimore Orioles have called up top outfield prospect Heston Kjerstad. The 24-year-old began the season in Double-A Bowie where he tore the ball off the cover and spent the last 76 games playing for Triple-A Norfolk. Between both levels, Kjerstad has hit .303 with 21 homers, 55 RBI and five stolen bases. One of […]


Owen Caissie Continues Strong Season

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Owen Caissie went 3-for-4 with two RBI and a stolen base on Wednesday for Double-A Tennessee.

Mick Abel Hit Hard

Philadelphia Phillies pitching prospect Mick Abel got hit hard on Wednesday.

In five innings, Abel allowed six hits, eight runs, two walks and struck out seven. His biggest blemish of the […]


Jasson Dominguez Catching Fire In August

After an up and down year for Double-A Somerset, New York Yankees outfield prospect Jasson Dominguez has turned things around in August. On Wednesday, Dominguez, 3-for-5 with a solo home run and two strikeouts. The 20-year-old has been a bit of a disappointment this season compared to his first couple of professional years and much […]


Jackson Holliday Refuses To Cool Off

Baltimore Orioles shortstop prospect Jackson Holliday went 1-for-4 with a triple for Double-A Bowie on Wednesday. Holliday, 19, continues to hit at every level he's played at this season and has produced 40 extra-base hits between Single-A, High-A and Double-A. The 2022 first overall pick has been nothing but impressive the season with a .337 […]

Orelvis Martinez Has Plenty Of Power In His Bat

Toronto Blue Jays shortstop/third base prospect Orelvis Martinez has struggled since being promoted to Triple-Buffalo on July 17.

He has also driven in […]


Kahlil Watson Will Join High-A

After being acquired from the Miami Marlins in the Jean Segura for Josh Bell deal, shortstop prospect Kahlil Watson will join High-A Lake County for the Cleveland Guardians.
